What is Reiki?
Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key), a Japanese word representing "Universal Life Energy", is a natural form of healing energy believed to come from ancient texts discovered and developed by Mikao Usui in Japan early in the 20th century.

As a therapy, Reiki is gentle, non-intrusive, relaxing and can be used with and alongside other therapies to compliment the healing process. It works on physical, mental, spiritual and emotional levels, can be used for people, animals, plants, situations, is always given unconditionally and for the greater good of the receiver. We all have the ability to channel energy and using Reiki is a simple way to stimulate and use the body's natural healing abilities.

What Happens During a Session?
A session is carried out with the client lying down or seated in a comfortable position - there is no need to remove any clothing. The practitioner's hands are gently placed in a series of positions on or over the head, front & back of the body.

During a treatment the individual may feel:- warmth, tingling, coolness, peacefulness, feel emotional, feel 'lighter' - feeling little sensation does not diminish the benefits, everyone's experience of Reiki will be different. The receiver will take in only as much Reiki as is needed or wanted, with the energy going where it is required most.

Reiki is deeply relaxing, eases stress - mental and physical - and can have a very calming effect. Relaxation of the mind & body can lead to release of tension on all levels, negativity, even get rid of excess "baggage". Reiki also promotes self awareness, a positive attitudes and a sense of well being.

How Many Treatments Do I Need?
Reiki can be used as a 'one off' or used as a course of regular treatments - it all depends on the individuals requirements, needs, situation and choice e.g. a chronic or acute situation would require several consecutive sessions to begin with, followed by regular weekly /fortnightly / monthly treatments as support.

Many people use Reiki as a means of keeping a sense of balance in their life or as a preventative measure - prevention being better than cure.

A consultation is required prior to the first treatment to assess a clients needs and if appropriate, a treatment plan agreed upon with progress monitored and reviewed on a regular basis. Reiki is a no-diagnostic therapy and is not a substitute for conventional medical advice.
